I generally unscrew the canister and let the air bleed out - same effect I guess....... any ideas why it does that? Robbie

Hello All - I have an RO/DI by Coralife.....having an odd issue with it - the DI chamber keeps getting air in it......... any ideas why? Robbie

well it took several days to get any replies....so I sort of came up with a solution on my own..... I bought an RO shut off kit (I was wanting one anyway) from Drs Foster Smith (it was on sale - bonus). For now I'm going use the float valve only with a storage bing running into it. so I took...

Quick question - I need to build a float valve before we go on vacation. I would like who ever watches my tanks (plus the cats and bonsai) to have as little work as possible. What I would like to is have an electric switching float pump to turn on my aqualifter to pump from two five gallon...

I always use 4x4s (usually 2x4s sandwiched together with opposing grain) on my tank stands. My last stand had six 4x4s (as described above) for a forty gallon long..........overkill? Probably.......but certainly peice of mind. Robbie

I rewired mine about two days after receiving it. I simply used a multimeter (on the continuity setting) to find which switches went to what wires on the opposite end, and wired them to individual plugs. Took about thirty minutes total. I wired the first ballast (Actinics) with the fans, the...

Well I ended up getting a new PC hood, so I scraped those LEDS, and wired them into the PC hood.....the hood came prewired, I just had to move the LEDS and add some resistors. Three over a 40 gal long tank lights up the tanks pretty well. Robbie

Both Valves are all the way out.

I help set up my brothers 55 gal tank over the weekend.... by advice of the lfs, he used Stress Coat and tap water. I suggested RO water instead, but........ Now the turbofloater is pushing clean water through the riser tube constantly - it fills the cup in a minute or less. He put the air...

let the pumps soak in pure vinegar for a day or two

if there isn't live stock in the tank, try vinegar

I am on a tight budget, so I can afford a fancy skimmer yet.....so with some research, I came up with this to possibly go into my sump. The body will probably be 2" pvc and the reaction chambers will be as tall as I can make it, according to the cabinet. I'll probably make most of it out of...
